Trident
1. Seated Mother
I am Mare, Virgin Mother,
Oceanic Love,
stampeding waves,
Pieta rocking like a horse
to the lullaby of the moon,
My dark blue mantle
netted, knotted,
rune-starred night.
2. Dancing Virgin
I am Mermaid, Iamanja!
My weaving rivers stream
through your imagination,
mountains My earthy breasts,
My ocean tail,
part dream, part whale,
My breathing waves.
My dancing never rests.
My beauty,
never captured in a cage,
undulates delight.
3. Transformer
And if I rage, ageless,
storm and moan,
envisioning,
remembering
ancient Crone,
yet I shall again be Maiden,
elusive, fresh, and true,
surprising, arising ever new!
